Random Thoughts on My Pace

That race pace for both the full and half marathon scares me! So does the 10k one actually.
I’m supposed to run 26.2 miles at a pace that I’ve never even run half the distance at!
I’m running my long runs too fast (I knew that!). So no matter how much I think I need that ‘push’ and no matter how much other people push me into it, stick with the slower group because going out at 11:30 for the first 2 miles is NOT doing me any favors on even a 8-10 mile run.
I’m not even aiming to achieve what my body is probably capable of (Ugh, can’t believe I’m actually backing off!). All I’m trying to do is run a 5:35 marathon @ 12:45 pace, which is 11 minutes faster than my current time.
I think too much.
